I suggest "The Highwayman" by Alfred Noyes. He describes the man like this:- He'd a French cocked hat on his forehead, and a bunch of lace at his chin; He'd a coat of claret velvet, and breeches of fine doe skin. They fitted with never a wrinkle; his boots were up to his thigh; And he rode with jewelled twinkle- His rapier hilt a-twinkle- His pistol butts a-twinkle, under the jewelled sky. It is likely that both the French cocked hat and the boots were black. What do you think?
